The Memphis Grizzlies needed Desmond Bane’s career night and a very good contribution from Jaren Jackson Jr. to defeat the Detroit Pistons Wednesday night. But they also needed reserve contributions, and stout defense late. All that combined is reason to remain positive that these Grizzlies when at full strength will still have say in the postseason plans of the NBA. Host Joe Mullinax discussed that and more on this episode of Locked on Grizzlies!

Des killed it an Jaren backed up from his last game. I'm just glad they put that game to bed. Good Win, let's go get another one.
With Konchar an Vince Jnr on the floor, you get defence strong rebounding an hustle plays x2.
Great game by Des. 👏
On another note: Bojan would look great with us like Joe said.
I’d ship out Ziare, Luke, Laravia, Lofton & Tilman along with picks for Bogdanovic & Wiseman.
This trade works under the cap.
We get 3 level scoring and playmaking from a vet and an actual big man with some size and potential to be better in a familiar environment.
We wouldn’t have to cut anyone anymore.
Sign Nowell for the remainder of the season and move up Vince when deemed necessary.
Sign new guy to 2 way contract.
Roster crunch solved.
Why does Mulinax constantly give his resume? Just say your name and Locked On and let it go. Herrington never gives his resume over at his podcast and he has a much more impressive resume.
Moving forward Nowell should be on the roster. He looks like a real NBA. Even his poor shooting gms he contributed as an additional ball-handler and defender. Get rid of LaRavia, Ziaire, Konchar, or whoever to make room. Sadly, I think they will get rid of Junior.
Great job Joe, your best report ever. Keep up the great work. You’ve come a long way dude.
Fun Fact: Derrick Rose more wins as a starter this 23 -24 season than Marcus Smart.
Derrick Rose as starting PG W/L (3-0)
Marcus Smart as starting PG W/L (1-7)
Marcus Smart as starting SG W/L (1-3)
Marcus Smart starting preseason and regular season W/L (2-11)
Derrick Rose starting preseason and regular season W/L (5-1)
Perhaps, Derrick Rose should have been starting PG from the start, and Marcus Smart at the two. Which makes sense for multiple reasons. One of the reasons being when Ja returns, Marcus Smart is likely to be the starting 2 guard. Furthermore, one could argue we win more of those close games, and prevent injuries of our players because of the continuity what we already had from preseason. We have to remember D Rose started all but one of preseason matchups and played exceptionally well by winning two of the contest.
Yall have to stop including Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard with Ja Morant when mentioning returning impactful players because Ja Morant is in a class all alone and also both Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard are flawed basketball players that teams have given up on for one reason or another. Both the Pistons and the Clippers got sick and tired of Luke's HORRIBLE defense coupled with the fact he doesn't get up enough shots. Boston knew that Smart's defensive impact maxed out two years ago and they were tired of his silly turnovers and his poor shot selection. The Grizzlies still need to trade for an impactful 3&D wing with playoff experience and I think Dorian Finney-Smith of the Nets is the perfect candidate and can be had with a decent offer from Zach Kleiman. What's even more bizarre is the fact that Brooklyn has FOUR 3&D wings who would start for the Grizzlies. Would I trade Jared for Mikal Bridges? YES!! Would I trade Marcus Smart for Cameron Johnson? YES!! Would I trade Luke and a 1st for Dorian Finney-Smith? YES!! Would I trade Santi and two 2nd's for Royce O'Neal? YES!! Get it done Zach.
First 3 quarters had me nervous I'm ngl 💀
Des was on fire last night.
I was getting some pretty good pucker factor in the 2nd and 3rd 😀
